If we deliberately keep on sinning
after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no
sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful
expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will
consume the enemies of God. Hebrews 10:26-27 NIV
HAPPY NEW YEAR radio operators.
Good to see everyone Sat morning at the truck stop. Want
to thank staff for such a good year 2001.
Hope we can have the same with a
little extra thrown in. We want your comments for
activity this coming year. Looks like we have some good
ideas already coming in. Have a GRAND 2002.

Happy New Year! Debbie and I thank
the many that showed up for the MARC Christmas party on
December 21, 2001. What a great way to bring to an end a
very difficult year - spending time in fellowship with
good friends. We were not sure if we would have enough
room, but with the help of many, we certainly enjoyed
opening our home to you. Thank you!
In addition, a HUGE thanks goes out
to the 2001 officers for a productive year. The 2002
officers certainly have a tough act to follow. We simply
will do the best that we can to make this a fruitful
year.
May God bless each of you.
73, Darrell, W5MAV

MARC About the Award
Ward Breland, KA5MVB, son of Dr.
and Mrs. A. E. Breland, was twenty years of age when he
died of overwhelming infection following his second
kidney transplant in 1983. He was a student at Millsaps
College at the time of his death. He has been described
as having a wonderful and original intelligence which
truly enlightened the lives of those around him. He bore
his chronic illness with wry good humor.
Family friend Bob Currier, WB5D,
encouraged the Jackson Amateur Radio Club to establish
The Breland Fund in honor of Ward. Over the years, the
Fund has grown, through individual donations, club
donations, and proceeds of used equipment auctions, etc.,
to a corpus that can sustain an ongoing award to young
hams for achievement in amateur radio.
The first two Breland Awards were
announced at the JARC Hamfest in February, 2001. They
went to Andrew McLarty, KC5OSX and Daniel Didlake,
KC5KMJ.
2002 Breland Award Nominations
Sought
The second Breland Award will be
presented at the Jackson Hamfest on Saturday, February 2,
2002. JARC members and others are invited to make
nominations based on the following criteria.
The nominee should be 21 years of
age or younger. The nominee should be a licensed amateur
or have a demonstrated interest in amateur radio. There
should be a description of how the nominee has
demonstrated that interest. There may be speculation as
to what the nominee might do with the cash award (i.e.,
save for college, buy radio equipment, etc.)
Nominations should be sent to Bill
McLarty, KM5GE, via email at km5ge@arrl.net or by mail to
the JARC post office address (P. O. Box 55643, Jackson,
MS 39296), arriving no later than Monday, January 28,
2002. A committee will review all nominations and
determine the winner.
